SAGA ROSE MISSES CALL

SAGA Cruises Saga Rose had to cancel her planned call to Lerwick Harbour yesterday due to adverse weather.

The vessel arrived on time but conditions in the harbour made tendering at the anchorage unsafe and the captain aborted the call.

She lay off the perimiter of the harbour limits for around an hour before proceeding to her next port of call in Flaam, Norway.

She is not the first liner to miss out a planned stop in Lerwick this year, the Delphin also cancelled earlier in the season.

Currently another 7 liners are still due before the season ends including the Norwegian Jewel which if it can make it would be the biggest liner ever to visit the Shetland Isles.
